Willander’s goal at 9:29 was his first in the NHL, while Pettersson’s at 11:46 was his first of the season and second of his career. Raty made it 3-1 with 4:48 remaining in the middle period.

Raty then pushed the led to three goals at 5:09 of the third and Zuccarello beat Tolopilo on a power play with 2:38 remaining.

Before what would have been his 500th career game, Vancouver forward Elias Pettersson left the pregame warmup and was scratched from the lineup with an upper-body injury

Up next Wild: At Seattle on Monday to finish a four-game trip.

Canucks: Host Detroit on Monday.
